We’re disappointed to report delays from the employer remain in a number of key areas like job security, no contracting out, workload and more. The employer continues to hold its position on wages at zero-per-cent each year for two years.

While bargaining continues to be challenging, your committee is dedicated to taking the time needed to get the collective agreement members deserve. We will not rush into an agreement that does not meet members needs and does not recognize you as equal members of the health care team.

We thank you for the continued patience and resolve you’ve shown throughout this difficult bargaining process.

It’s important to note your current collective agreement applies until a new agreement is ratified. Future bargaining dates are currently being scheduled for May.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact a member of your bargaining committee with questions, comments or to request more information on bargaining.
